No board or committee of town officers having
the power or authority to appoint any town officer or agent shall
appoint any member of such board or committee to any salaried office

this shall not prohibit any town officer from being Chairman or Clerk
of the board or committee of which he/she may be a member.
Every officer or board of the town, at the time
of rendering or transmitting any bill or demand for any money due
or payable to the town, shall, at the time of rendering or transmitting

provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply
to bills or demands for taxes or other municipal assessments.
Every officer in charge of a department shall
annually, on or before the 15th of January, transmit to the Select
Board, in writing, a report containing a statement of the acts and
doings of his department for the past financial year, to be printed
